You can wear indoor soccer shoes on Astro Turf — but you really shouldn’t.
They aren’t designed for that surface, and doing so will affect your grip, your performance, and possibly even your safety.

🚫 Why Indoor Soccer Shoes Aren’t Made for Astro Turf

Indoor soccer shoes have flat, non-marking rubber soles. They’re made for smooth, hard indoor courts like wood, tile, or PVC futsal floors.
Astro Turf, on the other hand, is:

Rougher
Thicker
Often laid over concrete or padding
Has more texture and depth than a flat court

What goes wrong?

Poor traction: Flat soles can slide around on the turf.
Increased injury risk: Lack of grip means more chance of rolling your ankle or slipping.
Faster wear: Indoor shoes will wear out quickly on turf and lose their shape or tread.

✅ What Should You Wear on Astro Turf?

If you’re playing on Astro Turf (especially older-style turf, not the new synthetic grass), you should wear:

Turf shoes (TF shoes):

They have small rubber studs or nubs that grip turf well.
Designed to give you traction without digging too deep, which is ideal for short turf surfaces.
More shock absorption to handle the harder base underneath Astro Turf.

🎓 In Short

Don’t wear indoor soccer shoes on Astro Turf.
It’s not just a performance issue — it’s a safety one too.
Use turf shoes with rubber nubs for proper grip, stability, and durability on artificial turf fields.
